Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shohei-ryu (2nd nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Leaning towards merge into Uechi-ryu due to lack of relative independent notability. Either way, the article will be kept, and merge discussions can continue on the talk page, pending addition of further reliable sources to establish notability.

Merge into Uechi-ryu. I think this article lacks the independent sources for an article of its own, but it seems like a good candidate to be part of the article on its parent style. Papaursa (talk) 02:47, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge into Uechi-ryu. I think there's enough out there to show notability, or at least enough to keep this article from being completely deleted. Astudent0 (talk) 14:11, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as this is the name and group of a very notable traditional okinawan martial art. as stated in the article, "Ryuko Tomoyose (Shohei-ryu Hanshi 10th Dan) was recognized as an Intangible Cultural Asset holder in the Field of Okinawan Karate and Martial Arts with Weaponry by the Okinawa Prefecture in 2000." that alone makes it a notable martial art with a reliable third person source no?
